Installation

Simply clone the repository and copy it to /usr/share/sddm/themes/ like this:

git clone git@github.com:3ximus/aerial-sddm-theme.git
mv aerial-sddm-theme /usr/share/sddm/themes

Note that super user priviledges are needed to move files into that directory.

The theme can be tested by running sddm-greeter --theme <path-to-this-repository>

Other notes

This theme streams the HD videos so a good internet connection is necessary. If there is no active connection or the video can't be played the background will fallback to the image background.jpg

Changing settings in theme.conf.user

You can change the font and the background. To set background image use background, for video playlists use background_day and background_night. Other keywords can be used, you just need to change the loaded config name near the end of the Main.qml file.

Example:

[General]
background="image.jpg"
background_day="playlist_day.m3u"
background_night="playlist_night.m3u"
displayFont="Montserrat"
